ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a probe for photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging targeting integrin αvβ6 . Methods The probe was separated by RP‐HPLC .Molecular weight and the maximum absorption wavelength of the probe were detected by mass spectrum instrument and optical spectrum instrument . Various concentrations of the probe were detected by photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging . The stability of the probe was evaluated when exposed under laser . Targeting of the probe on integrinαvβ6 was evaluated in cell uptake assay with integrinαvβ6 positive and negative cells . The minimum number of cells that could be detected by photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging was also evaluated . Results The probe ICG‐peptide was separated from reaction mixture by RP‐HPLC .The probe had a retention time of 21 .4 minutes and m/z of 4 727 . The labeling ratio of the probe was 1∶1 . The maximum absorption wavelength of the probe was 790 nm . The photoacoustic signal was linearly dependent on the concentration of the probe . The fluorescence signal was linearly dependent on the concentration of the probe when the concentration was smaller than 1 .5 × 10 -5 mol/L . The lowest concentration of the probe that could be detected above the background by photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging was 0 .09 × 10-5 mol/L and 0 .05 × 10-5 mol/L ,respectively . No obvious decrease of the photoacoustic signal was observed after the probe was scanned 20 times ( each time lasted for 1 min) by laser . There existed differences ( P <0 .001) in cell uptake of the probe with various concentrations and reaction time between A431 cells (αvβ6 positive) and 293T cells (αvβ6 negative) . Cell uptake was inhibited by the addition of 5μmol/L unlabeled peptide in A431 cells ( P = 0 .001 ) . The lowest number of the labeled A431 cells detected by photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging was 0 .4 × 106 and 0 .05 × 106 ,respectively . Conclusions The dual functional photoacoustic and fluorescence probe targeting integrin αvβ6 was successfully developed . The targeting and sensitivity of the probe makes it potentially useful in early detection of αvβ6 positive tumors .
